| Summary: | The structure of A Lethal Obsession loosely follows Wistrich's career, shifting focus from the antisemitism of the Left to the antisemitism of the Nazis, and, after some critique of the Western multiculturalist Left, culminating in what Wistrich sees, it seems, as the heir to all strands of anti-Jewish prejudice and ideology: the antisemitism of the Arab and Muslim world (especially in Iran). Many scholars would categorize the subject here as anti-Zionism rather than antisemitism, but Wistrich, with various academic caveats, seems to assert that there is little difference between antisemitism and of anti-Zionism. |
